It’s a jungle out there.
Not the state of that rough patch which used to grow vegetables and is now used to dump hedge and grass trimmings, but the vast selection of lawnmowers which can be bewildering when you come to need a new one.

So to help you chose a rotary mower which is ideal for your lawn, here are ten top machines chosen by us from the large selection on our pages.
And if you’re still not sure which is the best for your garden, then simply give us a ring. We’ve years of experience in garden machinery and can quickly direct you to the right one to get you mowing in no time.
